AGU Journals: the Highest Standards Make Your Research Accessible AGU Journals: The Highest Standards Make Your Research Accessible As a leading publisher in the scientific community, AGU maintains the highest standards and promotes best practices in scholarly publishing. AGU operates as a not-for-profit publisher with seven open- access journals. We have more than 100,000 articles in our database, with new ones added regularly. The 22 peer-reviewed journals are driven by editors who are recognized experts and leaders in their respective research areas. AGU publications have one of the fastest publication times across all Earth and space science journals, meaning your research can be accessed, read and cited sooner. AGU is a leader and proud supporter of open science, and we seek to make scientific research and its dissemination accessible to all. Some of the actions we’ve taken to ensure that research published in AGU journals reaches the widest possible audience include: • Making all new journals acquired or started • Encouraging the submission of plain-lan- by AGU since 2010 fully open access, which guage summaries to encourage compre- means all articles are freely accessible to hension of scientific results by the widest read, download and share. possible readership. • Offering free access to 96% of the content • Highlighting selected journal articles in Eos published in AGU journals since 1997. magazine, which reaches a print audience of • Including access to the back files of AGU more than 22,000 people around the world. journals (via the Digital Library) as an added • Issuing AGU press releases to highlight benefit for AGU individual members since journal articles that feature groundbreaking January 2020. research that may be disseminated more • Founding the Earth and Space Science broadly by the general media.

  • Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems Becoming an Open Access Journal: FAQ
    Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems becoming an open access journal: FAQ Why is Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems becoming an open access journal? AGU remains committed to open science and open data. As a part of our mission, we are focused on making science available to the widest possible audience. Since many researchers around the world have open access requirements by funders, this move to an open access model will make compliance easier. Authors will pay an open access article processing charge (APC) and retain copyright of their article which they can publish under a Creative Commons license (choose from CC-BY or CC-BY-NC-ND). There will be no excess page fees or any other additional fees for publication. In addition, there will be no subscription paywall, which means that more people will have access to your research so they can actively cite, read and share data for free. When will Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems become open access? All articles in the journal will be open access as of 1 January 2022. After 8 September 2021, submissions received/accepted must agree to pay the open access article processing charge (APC), but there will be no excess page fees or any other additional fees for publication. What if I already have a paper under consideration to Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems? If your paper: • is under consideration before 8 September 2021 and • publishes after 1 January 2021, then your paper will publish with copyright to the authors under a Creative Commons license for free (the fee will be waived). If your paper publishes in 2021, then the paper will publish as a subscription article (copyright AGU).

    This preprint has been submitted as an invited review for peer review to Advances in Geophysics, as yet this paper has not undergone peer-review. Chapter 1 Machine learning and fault rupture: a review Christopher X. Ren1∗, Claudia Hulbert2∗, Paul A. Johnson3, Bertrand Rouet-Leduc3∗∗ 1Intelligence and Space Research Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA 2Laboratoire de Géologie, Département de Géosciences, École Normale Supérieure, Paris, France 3Geophysics Group, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, NM, USA ∗ These two authors contributed equally. ∗∗ Corresponding author email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT Geophysics has historically been a data-driven field, however in recent years the ex- ponential increase of available data has led to increased adoption of machine learning techniques and algorithm for analysis, detection and forecasting applications to faulting. This work reviews recent advances in the application of machine learning in the study of fault rupture ranging from the laboratory to Solid Earth. KEYWORDS Machine Learning, Faulting, Earthquakes 1.1 INTRODUCTION The study of material failure and rupture in geophysics is an extremely broad field [1], involving observation and analysis of geophysical data from failure simulations at laboratory and field scale [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], laboratory experiments [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26? ] and in the solid Earth [1, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35]. Despite the vast apparent scope of this field, one approach to distill its essence is based on the following question: given a seismic signal received by a sensor or a set of sensors, what information can be gleaned concerning the process generating the signal? Often these signals are noisy, numerous, and exist in high-dimensional spaces where it is non-trivial to extract meaningful information from them [36, 37].
